💙✨ Our Faith in Action Team (Years 7–12) has been working hard to make a difference through two recent initiatives—a Bake Sale and Crafternoon! Thanks to the amazing support from our school community, we raised enough funds to create 50 care packs filled with toiletries and non-perishable snacks. These will be distributed by the Springwood and Katoomba Vinnies conferences to support people doing it tough. Each pack includes a message of compassion, dignity, and hope—reminding recipients they are not alone. We were also blessed to have some wonderful helpers from St Thomas Aquinas Primary School join us to help pack the care items—a true show of community in action! 💛 ✨ Thank you to everyone who supported and contributed!
